SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters :Patent NO. 259,091, dated June 6, 1882.

Application filed March 11,1352. (No model.)

, and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereou, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part ot' this specification, and represent, in-

Figure 1, a sectional side view; Fig. 2, a rear view.

This invention relates to an improvement in distributers for tire-extinguishers--that is to say, the nozzles which are applied at diierent points on a line of pipeinto which,vin case ot' lire, water is admitted and distributed over the apartment/in which a-re may occur, the object ofthe invention being to distribute the water over the largest possible space; and it consists in a perforated rose open around its base, combined with a perforated disk below the base openings, as more fully hereinafter described.

A represents the collar by which the distributer is secured to the pipe; B, the rose portion of the distributer, which is perforated in the usual manner.` (Here represented as hemispherical in shape.) At the base a narrow annular opening is made, or as nearly so as may beh-that is to say, there being arms a. left suf- -flcient to connect the rose to the collar and leave openings b between them. Immediately l This disk is larger in diameter than the roseat its base, and near its edge is a series of perforations, d, las near the edge as may be,but so as to leave the edge complete and uncut. This disk should be at and in the same plane throughout, but may be slightly curved.

Whenever re occurs, or when a supply ot' water comes to the distributer, it passes into the rose in the usual manner, a portion passing out through the perforations in the rose. The remainder, by the reaction, is forced backward through the opening at the base of the rose upon the disk C, where part is discharged through the pcrforations vin the disk, the ball ance over the edge of the distributer in the form ot' a solid umbrella-shaped sheet.

This construction ofA the distributer is best adapted to stand upright-that is, the axis perpendicular-because the perforations on the rose will vthrow to a great distance. Then that portion which passes over the edge ot' the disk is thrown out in umbrella-like shape, while the perforations in the disk distribute into the space below. Thus a distribution is made in every possible direction.

' I claim- The herein-described distributer for tire-extinguishers, consisting ot' the perforated rose constructed with openings at its base, combined with the perforated disk below the openings at the base, substantially as described.

ALBERT M. BURRITT.
